Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was put in one of the dungeon rooms ("The Clink") which I had purposely NOT selected when making the booking. Nice basement room. Was quiet until the maids started work early the next morning. Their utility room door was immediately outside and was shockingly loud - kept thinking someone was opening the door to our room. Other than that I was happy with the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
While thrilled with an early check in, my room was on the bottom floor, was cold until 2 portable heaters were brought by maintenance. The power went out on Sunday evening—9:00pm until I approached the front deck for assistance at 6:00am. Obviously no back up generators. No compensation for any inconvenience. I did have a lovely dinner at the restaurant. Overall staff was professional and pleasant.

The concept is interesting but can’t excuse neglecting updates. For the cost I was surprised by the cheap fixtures and industrial carpeting. Mildew in the shower and dirty room service dishes left in the halls. Definitely not worth the price.
